System Requirements

To run the demo, your PC needs only the following:

Processor	386 or better
Video	Color VGA or better
Memory	8M or more
Modem	Plug-and-Play, PCMCIA, or connected to COM1, 2, 3, or 4
Mouse	Serial, bus, or PS/2

If you're running QNX, BSD, Linux, Solaris, Unix...

Download from:

• Modem Version (TAR) - North America
• Modem Version (TAR) - Europe

1. Download the qnxdemo.tar archive to your local machine, then type:

   tar -xf qnxdemo.tar

   to extract the following files from the archive:

   qnxdemo.doc	instructions for making a QNX demo disk
   qnxdemo.dat	the data to be written to the disk
   makedemo	a shell script to make the disk

   
   

2. Make sure the floppy driver is running. If you're using QNX, you can start the driver simply by logging in as root and typing:

   Fsys.floppy &

3. Insert a preformatted 3.5" 1.44M disk into floppy drive A and launch the command:

   makedemo

   The makedemo command will write the QNX demo to drive A.

4. When makedemo completes (i.e. the light in the floppy drive goes out), leave the floppy in drive A and reset your computer. The demo will do the rest!

Make sure the floppy disk is preformatted. If your computer doesn't have a 3.5" floppy drive configured as drive A, you will need to reconfigure your hardware or BIOS to allow it to boot from that drive.

If you're running DOS, OS/2, or Windows 95/98/NT/3.1...

Download from:

• Modem Version (ZIP) - North America

2. Insert a preformatted 3.5" 1.44M floppy into floppy drive A and run the batch file, INSTALL.BAT. This file will write the QNX demo to drive A.

3. When INSTALL.BAT completes (i.e. the light in the floppy drive goes out), leave the floppy in drive A and restart your computer. The demo will do the rest!

Make sure the floppy disk is preformatted. If your computer doesn't have a 3.5" floppy drive configured as drive A, you will need to reconfigure your hardware or BIOS to allow it to boot from that drive.
